CHOCOLATE COVERED OREO BALLS
Had these on Christmas Eve and thought Santa came early! Talk about simple - and sinful! These were extremely easy (and a lot of fun) to make. We used reduced fat ( ::gasp:: ) Oreos, and they were just as good. You could use low fat cream cheese as well. We also decided that covering the *entire* ball made them a bit too sweet (yes, I know - how can that be?!?). Next time, we will just dunk the bottoms in the chocolate. DH and I can't wait to try out different combinations: Peanut butter Oreos, mint Oreos, flavored chips, adding food coloring to white chocolate (for the holidays, game day, school colors, etc) - the creative possibilities are endless!

Steps:
- Crush the Oreos to bits, either in a processor or plastic bag. You don't want a powder, but you don't want chunks.
- Mix the room temperature, softened cream cheese and Oreo bits together. If you use a hand mixer, be prepared for the mixture to get "stuck" in the paddles. We finished off using a spatula.
- Roll mixture into bite-sized (large grape/chestnut) pieces.
- Chill the balls on waxed paper for about an hour, or until firm to the touch.
- Melt the (white) chocolate chips in double boiler or in the microwave as instructed by the packaging.
- Stick a toothpick in each ball, then dip into the melted the (white) chocolate. Spin/roll excess off (slowly).
- Optional - If you want to add additional decorations such as sprinkles, etc - now is the time to do it.
- Allow to harden on wax paper, approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Optional - Drizzle with more chocolate and allow to harden again.
- Optional - Remove toothpick and refrigerate.
